Lois Clary is a software engineer who spends her days coding and collapsing onto her sofa at night. Her only human interaction comes from the two brothers who run the local takeaway, where she orders dinner every evening. However, when the brothers are forced out of business, they leave Lois with a final delivery: their culture, a sourdough starter used to bake their famous bread.
Determined to keep the starter alive, Lois begins to feed it daily, play music for it, and attempt to bake with it. Despite her lack of baking skills, she quickly discovers a hidden world of home-cooked food and cutting-edge technology. She becomes involved in a secret market that aims to fuse home-cooked food with advanced technology, leading her to question the boundaries between food, science, and technology.
As Lois delves deeper into this underground world, she meets a diverse group of people, including chefs, scientists, and hackers, who are all working towards the same goal. However, she soon realizes that this market is not without its dangers, and she must navigate a complex web of alliances and betrayals to stay alive.
Through her journey, Lois learns to appreciate the beauty of home-cooked food and the power of technology to enhance it. She also discovers the importance of human connection and the value of community. In the end, she emerges as a hero, using her skills and knowledge to save the market and bring together a community of food enthusiasts.
